[Author]
Listen up, My lovely readers! This is a historical genre, so you absolutely must not look at this through those modern glasses on, okay? Set your minds centuries back!
[Author]
Our story is massive! Season 1 is a standalone journey. But wait! Season 2 and Season 3 are tightly linked together, sharing mysteries and fate!
[Author]
Across all three seasons, you will witness three completely different 'Taekook' love stories. Prepare yourself for the drama!
The Jeon Empire stood unrivaled, a titan of power that cast a long shadow across the entire continent.
Yet, this golden age was not born of chance; it was forged in the fires of battle by one man. Jeon Jungkook. To his people, he is the 'Beloved King,' a sovereign whose right to rule is matched only by his lethality on the battlefield—for he is not merely a ruler of men, but a master of war.
The kingdom overflowed with wealth, power, and prosperity; it was a golden age in every sense but one. A hollow silence haunted the royal lineage.
For all their glory, there was a void that no amount of gold could fill: there was no future heir to the throne.
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
High Priest..*Voice dropping to a tremor of unease.*
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
Have the stars revealed their secrets? What lies hidden within King Jungkook’s birth chart?
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
When will the heavens finally bless him with a successor? How long must the throne wait?
Royal Priest[Sage] Yunzhou
*Raised his head, meeting the anxious gazes of the Emperor and Empress..*
Rest assured, Your Majesties. The ancient prophecies have never led us astray.
Royal Priest[Sage] Yunzhou
I have seen it in the King's charts. A son is promised to him by fate itself. The throne will not remain empty.
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
When?
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
We had been waiting for that moment so long!
Royal Priest[Sage] Yunzhou
Forgive me, Your Majesty. But on that matter...the heavens remain silent. The stars have shrouded that specific detail in mist. I cannot yet see it.
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
We became heartless for the sake of the throne. To secure a male heir, we hardened our hearts and shattered Queen Taehyung’s...forcing him to accept a second wife for Jungkook against his will.
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
And see how fate mocks us? The prophecy was half-true. The second wife indeed bore Jungkook’s child... but the heavens denied us a grandson. After all that pain, we were granted only a Princess.
Royal Priest[Sage] Yunzhou
*Hesitated..*
(Perhaps the heir in the prophecy can only come from the true Queen (Taehyung), not a second wife?)
Royal Priest[Sage] Yunzhou
Your Majesty, to see the full picture, I must look beyond the King Jungkook alone.
Royal Priest[Sage] Yunzhou
I humbly request to examine the natal charts of both his partners—Queen Taehyung and the Second Wife. The answer may lie in their stars.
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
*Turned to the maid standing in the shadows, her expression severe.*
Go. Bring me the astrological records for Queen Taehyung and Consort Min Ari. The Royal Priest requires them.
Moments later, the charts lay open before Royal high priest.
The Priest studied them with a furrowed brow, the world around him fading away. He began to read the celestial maps, muttering calculations under his breath.
Royal Priest[Sage] Yunzhou
*Compared the destiny written in Min Ari's stars against the fate woven into Queen Taehyung's, searching for the truth.*
Royal Priest[Sage] Yunzhou
Your Majesty, the Second Consort's fate is sealed. She is destined to carry the royal bloodline. Three children shall be born of her.
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
*Eyes lit up with a glimmer of hope, her voice breathless.*
Is it true? Then... it must mean the prophecy refers to her. If she is to bear more children, then surely her next offspring will be the Prince we have prayed for.
Royal Priest[Sage] Yunzhou
No, Your Majesty. I have looked at her three stars... and all three are daughters. She will never bear a son.
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
*The color drained from her face, leaving her as pale as parchment. A cold dread settled in her chest, making it hard to breathe.*
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
*Her hands trembled visibly as she gripped the fabric of her robes, the reality of the situation crushing her.*
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
(It can't be Taehyung!!)
Emperor Jeon Yicheng/JK Father/❤️Zetian
*Frowned*
Royal Priest[Sage] Yunzhou
*Turns to Queen Taehyung's chart and his eyes widen in shock at what he sees..*
Emperor Jeon Yicheng/JK Father/❤️Zetian
What is it?
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
What have you found in Queen Taehyung's birth chart, Royal priest?
Royal Priest[Sage] Yunzhou
*Eyes lit up, sparkling with a renewed energy as he looked up from the scroll..*
It is a miracle, Your Majesty. Queen Taehyung is no ordinary mortal; he is the favored child of the heavens.
Royal Priest[Sage] Yunzhou
His stars shine with a brilliance I have never seen before. He is so profoundly blessed by the Deities that his chart opens a window into the next generation. I can see it... I can already read the glorious destiny of the son he will bear.
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
WHAT!! *Shocked*
Emperor Jeon Yicheng/JK Father/❤️Zetian
*Shocked*
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
*Stood up abruptly, her face twisted in disbelief and confusion.*
How can that be possible? Do not toy with us, Royal Priest!
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
It was your counsel we followed. You were the very voice that urged us to force a second marriage upon Jungkook! You insisted that it was the only way to secure an heir!
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
If you tell me now that Queen Taehyung is capable—nay, destined...to bear the heir, then answer me this: What was the purpose of that second marriage?
Royal Priest[Sage] Yunzhou
It is the King Jungkook’s destiny, Your Majesty. Even I am powerless to alter the threads that Fate has woven.
Royal Priest[Sage] Yunzhou
And if I may speak the truth... recall our past council. You brought me only the King’s scroll. Queen Taehyung’s stars were never placed before my eyes until this very moment. I could not read what was hidden from me.
Emperor Jeon Yicheng/JK Father/❤️Zetian
Priest Yunzhou... you spoke of a future so bright it transcends time. Tell us, then. What path is laid out for next heir? Will he equal his father's glory?
Royal Priest[Sage] Yunzhou
Certainly, Your Majesty. The Heavens have been generous to allow me this glimpse. It is a rare gift to read the fate of a warrior who will rival even his father's glory.
Royal Priest[Sage] Yunzhou
He is destined to rewrite the very annals of history. His power shall eclipse even that of the King Jungkook. But his dominion will not be limited to soil and borders; he will conquer the souls of his people.
Royal Priest[Sage] Yunzhou
This child will not merely rule a continent...he will hold the entire world in the palm of his hand. He is bound for absolute supremacy.
Royal Priest[Sage] Yunzhou
It is written that his legacy will be defined by his virtue. He will govern with an unwavering commitment to righteousness.
Royal Priest[Sage] Yunzhou
To his parents, he will be the most devoted of sons, worshipping the ground they walk upon. Under his guidance, the world will bloom. Whether it be the scholar's pen or the warrior's sword, he will excel in every field he enters. He is the definition of perfection.
Royal Priest[Sage] Yunzhou
But…
Emperor Jeon Yicheng/JK Father/❤️Zetian
But what ?
Royal Priest[Sage] Yunzhou
But be warned, Your Majesties. Great light casts a long shadow. Before this child even draws his first breath, death will seek him out.
*Serious voice.*
Royal Priest[Sage] Yunzhou
This child’s destiny poses a danger to many powerful interests. Even now, malice is stirring. Enemies will attempt to take his life before he sees the sun. To them, he is a threat that must be extinguished, and their wickedness will drive them to strike while he is most vulnerable—carried within the Queen.
Royal Priest[Sage] Yunzhou
He is bound for this earth; the heavens have decreed it. No evil can truly stop his arrival.
Royal Priest[Sage] Yunzhou
I implore you... spare no cost in your protection. Cherish and guard Queen Taehyung, for the life within him is the most precious treasure this kingdom has ever known.
Emperor Jeon Yicheng/JK Father/❤️Zetian
*Bowed his head slightly, a gesture of deep respect for the seer.*
We are indebted to your wisdom, High Priest. We accept both the divine blessing you have revealed and the grave warning you have issued. We shall not fail in our duty.
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
*Bowed*
Royal Priest[Sage] Yunzhou
*Traced the lunar cycle on the scroll with a long, withered finger.*
Listen closely, Your Majesties. The heavens have opened a path. The night of the Full Blue Moon next month is not an ordinary night.
Royal Priest[Sage] Yunzhou
It is the most auspicious alignment we have seen in decades. That is the moment the blessing must be received.

Note:
Jeon Jungkook is currently the King, but the highest possible title is 'Emperor'. Kim Taehyung is the Queen now.
[Author]
They will only be crowned as the 'Emperor and Empress' when the Throne finally gets its next proper successor.
While the palace hummed with the busy work of maids and guards, the royal family remained in their respective quarters. Queen Jeon Taehyung resided in the Fengyi Palace.
The King's personal residence was the grand Longyuan Palace, while Consort Min Ari's stayed in the Meihua Pavilion.
Having completed his morning routine, the Queen Taehyung stepped out into the quiet of the courtyard. Far from the schemes and noise of the main palace, he found peace here.
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
*Sat cross-legged on the lush grass, a gentle smile gracing his lips as he played with the small rabbits.*
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
In this secluded corner of the world, these small creatures were the only ones who offered him unconditional love.
The peaceful silence of the garden was broken by a voice as sweet and clear as a silver bell.
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
*Turned his head to find the young Princess standing there, looking like a doll in her royal silks.*
Jeon Ha-rin [Eldest Princess]D/o Jk &Ari
Greetings, Royal Mother!
*Voice filled with a childish sweetness.*
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
*Nodded*
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
Where is Ha-yoon?Is she not playing with you today?
*Asked in a calm, melodic gentle tone.*
Jeon Ha-rin [Eldest Princess]D/o Jk &Ari
She's still dreaming, Queen Mother.
*Laughed*
Royal Maids
*Opened her mouth to speak but closed it again, hesitating to break the flow of Queen Taehyung’s words or disturb his peace.*
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
*Shifted his attention from the princess to the maid standing nearby. He noticed her anxious expression and offered a reassuring nod.*
There is no need for fear here.
*Calm voice.*
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
If you have something to say, speak without hesitation.
*Calm voice.*
Royal Maids
*Hesitated before whispering.*
Your highness... I heard news that Consort Min Ari is not feeling well today.
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
Inform the Imperial Physician to check on Consort Min Ari's health.
*Gave the order in a calm and gentle voice, yet his face remained completely indifferent.*
Royal Maids
Yes, Your Highness.
*Bowed low and hurried away to deliver the message.*
After some time, Taehyung's trusted maid returned with the physician. Since his husband was absent, it was Taehyung's responsibility to handle all palace matters.
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
*Walked calmly towards Consort Min Ari's chamber.*
[Meihua Pavilion: Min Ari's Chamber]
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
*Standing inside Min Ari's room.*
Imperial physician
*Sat by the bedside and carefully placed his fingers on Consort Min Ari's wrist to check her pulse.*
Consort Min Ari/❤️JK Madly[2nd Wife]Evil
*Eyelids fluttered slightly...Stirred in her slumber.*
Simultaneously, the Empress heard the news. She immediately made her way to Meihua Pavilion as well to meet with Taehyung
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
Greetings, Mother.
*Noticed her presence and bowed gracefully to the Empress.*
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
*Raised a hand gently to stop him.*
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
There is no need for such formalities, Taehyung. Not anymore.
*Voice was dignified, yet it held a warmth that wasn't there before.*
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
*Surprise flickered in his calm eyes, but it vanished too soon for anyone to notice.*
Consort Min Ari/❤️JK Madly[2nd Wife]Evil
*Opened her eyes groggily, but instantly started in surprise...to see everyone in her chamber.*
Y-Your Majesty? Your Highness? Forgive me for not greeting you...
Consort Min Ari/❤️JK Madly[2nd Wife]Evil
*Hurried to sit up, but the motion made her lightheaded...Gasped, squeezing her eyes shut as she felt dizzy.*
Imperial physician
Consort Min Ari, careful! *Warned.* You must not rush to stand up.
Consort Min Ari/❤️JK Madly[2nd Wife]Evil
*Obeyed the physician and sat back against the headboard, trying to steady her breathing.*
Consort Min Ari/❤️JK Madly[2nd Wife]Evil
*Bowed her head slightly in greeting.*
Long live Your Majesty. Long live Your Highness.
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
*Offered a curt, dignified nod in response.*
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
*Did not feel the need to speak, simply standing with his hands clasped behind his back, waiting for the physician's report.*
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
How is the Ari's health?
*Asked the Imperial Physician.*
Imperial physician
Your Majesty, Your Highness! Please, do not worry.It is actually good news.The Consort is already three months pregnant.
Imperial physician
With the blessings of the heavens, we can hope to welcome a Royal Heir soon.
Since the Priest just told the Empress that Min Ari will only have daughters, this "good news" is actually hold not much happiness for the Empress who desires only 'Male Heir'.
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
That is... Good news. *Said, her voice calm but lacking true excitement.*
Consort Min Ari/❤️JK Madly[2nd Wife]Evil
*Turned her gaze toward Queen Taehyung, searching his face intently for any sign of jealousy or sorrow beneath his calm mask.*
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
Thank you, Imperial Physician. You bring joyous tidings for the Royal Family. Take this as your reward.
*Handed a fine jade pendant to the physician without hesitating, his expression remaining serene.*
Imperial physician
Thank you, Your Highness.
*Accepted the reward and offered a respectful bow.*
Consort Min Ari/❤️JK Madly[2nd Wife]Evil
*Feels frustrated that she couldn't make Taehyung jealous.*
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
*Shifted her attention to Taehyung, watching him closely.*
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
*Remained completely calm. He showed no emotion—neither happiness nor sadness...keeping his expression perfectly blank.*
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
*Studied Taehyung’s cold, unyielding profile, a silent worry taking root in her heart.*
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
(The Full Moon approaches...but will Taehyung be ready to fulfill the Royal Priest's prophecy? Will he accept it?)
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
(I can no longer decipher his expressions. He has mastered the art of hiding his heart...I cannot tell what he is truly thinking anymore.)
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
(In those years, Blinded by my desperation for an heir, I committed so many injustices against him...hurting and humiliating him every single day.)
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
(Is this the cruel joke of fate... punishment for how I treated him? Is this karma coming back to haunt me?)
Within mere hours, the news of Consort Min Ari's pregnancy swept through the palace like wildfire. Joyous whispers echoed in every corridor, from the servants' quarters to the royal court.
A wave of excitement took hold of the entire household, for everyone was convinced that, this time, the Heavens would finally bless them with a Royal Heir.
"But the threads of fate were weaving a pattern they could not yet see. While the palace rejoiced in false hope, destiny was silently preparing its true masterpiece elsewhere."
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
*Retreated to the solitude of her private chambers.*
As soon as the heavy doors clicked shut behind her, her shoulders slumped. The weight of the Priest’s prophecy and her past deeds guilt that she felt toward Taehyung pressed down on her, heavier than her golden crown.
In truth, Taehyung had never wished for Jungkook to take another consort.
The very thought of sharing his husband Jungkook...the love of his life—was a torture he bore in silence.
Kim Taehyung was a paragon of perfection: strong-willed, wise beyond his years, and a master of every art. He was the ideal wife for Jungkook and a magnificent Queen for the kingdom.
Yet, even the perfect flower has a vulnerability. Taehyung possessed one fatal flaw: his boundless kindness.
However, the Empress knew exactly how to break Taehyung's resolve. The Empress used every tool at her disposal—guilt, duty, and authority—to make him agree.
Empress had left him no room to argue, framing the second marriage not as a choice, but as a necessity for the survival of the kingdom.
Powerless to deny the throne an heir, Taehyung was forced to bow his head and consent to a reality that broke him. He agreed to the Jungkook's second marriage, not out of willingness, but out of helplessness.
He was heartbroken, drowning in a sea of sorrow. But in this vast palace, there was no one there to save him, no one to mend the cracks in his soul.
Time passed, and the palace was soon swept up in the joy of the 'first happy news.'
It was a bitter reality to accept. In nearly four years of marriage, Taehyung had never been blessed with a child. Yet Min Ari was pregnant, carrying the royal offspring that Taehyung had failed to give the King.
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
*A bright, radiant smile lit up the Empress’s face. She looked at the Min Ari with evident delight.*
You have done well, Ari. Thank you for gifting the Royal Family this hope. Kook will surely be elated to hear that he is to be a father.
Consort Min Ari/❤️JK Madly[2nd Wife]Evil
*Offered a forced smile, nodding slowly..*
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
*Noticed the strain in her expression and her smile faded instantly.*
What is the matter? *Voice laced with concern.* Is something troubling you?
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
Your smile seems forced, my child. Tell me...are you not happy about this?
Consort Min Ari/❤️JK Madly[2nd Wife]Evil
Please do not misunderstand, Your Majesty. It is not that. I am truly overjoyed, *Said softly.* It is simply... I am feeling very tired, that is all.
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
I understand. Pregnancy takes a toll on the body. Rest now, Min Ari.
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
*Turned and quietly exited Min Ari's chambers.*
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
What happened with Ari?
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
Why she looked upset? Isn't Kook came to meet her?
Min Ari special Maid[Empress people]Mei
Her Majesty, His highness Jungkook came to congratulate her, but he left immediately after.
Min Ari special Maid[Empress people]Mei
Consort Min Ari longed for him to stay longer and share the joy of the unborn child with him. As you know, Your Majesty... a woman's heart becomes fragile during pregnancy. She is likely feeling sensitive and simply yearned for her husband's comfort.
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
*Frowned slightly*
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
I understand the situation. You are dismissed.
Min Ari special Maid[Empress people]Mei
*Left from there.*

Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
*Turned to her head eunuch, her voice sharp and leaving no room for delay.*
Summon Queen Taehyung immediately. I desire an audience with him.
Head EUNUCH
As you command, Her Majesty.
*Bowed deeply and backed out of the room to fulfill the order immediately.*
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
*Stepped inside quietly, his expression calm and attentive.*
You called for me, Mother?
*Asked softly.*
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
Taehyung, How have you been?
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
I am feeling much improved after taking the medicine. I am deeply grateful for your concern, Royal Mother.
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
I am glad to hear that you are well.
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
*Set her tea cup down slowly, her eyes fixing on him with a serious glint.*
I have heard that Jungkook has been staying with you constantly.
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
However, for the current situation... could you persuade him to keep his distance? He needs to focus elsewhere.
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
Think of Min Ari..*Urged gently.* She is pregnant, fragile, and easily distressed. Now, more than ever, she needs kook presence, his love, and his constant care.
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
*Clenched his fist.*
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
*A faint, almost cynical smile touched his lips, quickly vanishing.*
What sacrifice do you require of me this time?
*Sarcastic voice.*
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
KIM TAEHYUNG 😡😡!!!!
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
*Gaze hardened instantly, the warmth vanishing completely. Her voice dropped to a level of icy authority that chilled the air.*
Do not forget your origins, Kim Taehyung.You were merely the son of a Minister.
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
We agreed to your marriage only because of Jungkook’s love for you. Do not mistake our tolerance for equality.
*Cold voice ❄️.*
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
And only for that affection...I am now paying the highest possible price.
*Replied, his voice barely a whisper.* The price of my love for him, and his love for me.
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
I accept that I am the son of a humble minister.
But you forget—I am also the Kook's rightful wife.
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
That title means nothing if you cannot produce an heir.
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
Heir....*💔*
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
The irony is really agonizing, Your Majesty.
*Declared, his eyes flashing with tears he refused to shed..* I could not stand the thought of sharing even a thread belonging to my husband. And yet, you compelled me to share his affections, his bed, and his very self with another woman.
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
You have already broken my heart by forcing me to accept her as his second wife. And now, you wish for me to actively drive him from my side...*whispered, the words heavy with despair.*
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
Is there any limit to your cruelty toward me, Mother?
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
Cruel!
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
Your personal pain is secondary to the needs of the Royal Lineage.
*Cold voice.*
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
You cannot give Jungkook and this kingdom the Heir it desperately requires. Therefore, you must fulfill your duty in another capacity. You are still the Queen; now act like one. Show grace and generosity, and guide the King to where his responsibilities lie.
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
Go and think about it.
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
Listen well, Taehyung. If you hesitate, if you fail to act as required, then I shall not delay. I will make the decisions for your lives, just as I did before.
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
*Remained silent for a beat, the silence stretching taut between them. He then bowed deeply and left the Empress's chambers.*
The pain was a slow, deliberate splintering of Taehyung soul. Every polite smile he offered, every act of 'generosity' he performed, was a nail driven into the coffin of his own happiness.
He was not just heartbroken; he was bleeding from a wound inflicted by duty and the very person who vow to love only him..& brought him high status.
Now, He's Queen, a beacon of virtue, yet he was stripped of the one thing he craved...the simple, undivided affection of his husband.
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
*Furious, walking swiftly toward her son, King Jungkook’s Longyuan Palace.*
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
(This behavior is unacceptable. I must knock some sense into kook's mind immediately. He is behaving childishly and failing in his duty. Ari is pregnant, and he must understand that her emotional well-being is paramount to the safety of the child.)
Yi Shiling [Kook's Guard]
Her Majesty!
*Bowed*
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
*Dismissed him.*
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
*Looked around the Kook’s chamber but did not find her son.*
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
*A look of sharp annoyance crossed the Empress's face.*
(If he wasn't here, he must certainly be at Queen Taehyung's place.)
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
*Left from there.*
"FENGYI" (Phoenix Grace Palace)
[👑 TAEHYUNG PALACE]
The Empress entered the FENGYI palace, her movements rigid and deliberate. Her presence alone commanded silence and instantly put the few maids on duty into a state of alarm.
Royal Maids
Her Majesty!
*Caught completely off guard, instantly dropped into deep bows, startled.*
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
Do not inform them.
*Stated with an absolute, cold voice, continuing her advance into the wing towards Taehyung's chamber.*
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
*Leaned his head gently against the Kook's shoulder, smile but that didn't quite reach his eyes.*
Your Highness..
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
We should cherish these moments now. Once the baby arrives, the time for quiet conversation will be gone.We will all be devoted to the child, bustling around him from dawn until dusk.
Taehyung was not predicting the baby's joy, but the inevitable, agonizing loneliness of his own future...which he could see or sense.
King Jeon Jungkook/Powerful warrior/♥️TH
*Tightened his embrace around Taehyung, a sense of weary relief entering his voice..*
You speak the truth. And the urgency of this matter makes me desperate.
King Jeon Jungkook/Powerful warrior/♥️TH
If the child proves to be a male heir, I won't have to keep visiting her place to ensure the lineage. I pray, Taetae, that it is a son. So, I don't have to leave you again.
*Desperate voice.*
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
*Standing just outside the closed door and heard everything.*
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
(I believed the Kook's youthful fixation would yield to nature's call. All men, I thought, are the same—they cannot long resist the advances of a desirable woman, especially one carrying their child.)
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
(But Kook...he remains stubbornly devoted to Kim Taehyung. This loyalty is a problem, a direct threat to the Lineage.)
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
(Taehyung is barren; he cannot give the kook his deepest happiness. I must prevent Jungkook from nurturing a futile attachment that will lead only to sorrow...and I absolutely will not allow my son to live with that regret.)
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
*Eyes tightened, fighting back the crushing heartache that threatened to suffocate him.*
Your Highness, please do not speak like that. She is your wife, carrying your child.
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
*Whispered, a raw edge of anguish in his tone.* I will not lie; the thought of sharing you is a torment I bear daily. But, She has every right to your time and affection, and we cannot snatch that right from her.
King Jeon Jungkook/Powerful warrior/♥️TH
TAE!
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
Kook, There is already a balance dictated by your Mother..*Reminded the King Jungkook with a hint of bitterness.* Three nights of the week with me, three with her, and one night left to your own discretion. Why, then, would you seek to disrupt this order now?
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
You cannot rob the Consort of her established rights, especially when it was the Empress herself who granted them.
King Jeon Jungkook/Powerful warrior/♥️TH
*Pulled Taehyung closer, his voice low with frustration.*
Taetae, listen to me, I was honest with her from the start! I told her everything before we married—that I held no romantic interest and would never be able to love her.
King Jeon Jungkook/Powerful warrior/♥️TH
She accepted the terms fully, knowing I was marrying her only for the sake of an heir.
King Jeon Jungkook/Powerful warrior/♥️TH
So, tell me, Taetae. Why should I be forced to compromise further? I have paid my dues to the kingdom, and now I wish to keep my word to you. Why must I give up the little joy I have left?
*Serious voice.*
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
And what of your own child, Your Highness?
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
That baby will be your son or daughter. Will you deny yourself the pleasure of watching the child grow? Every milestone, every smile, every stage of their life will be precious.
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
You must be there to share their happiness and to raise them.
King Jeon Jungkook/Powerful warrior/♥️TH
But we can do that together, Taetae, can't we?
King Jeon Jungkook/Powerful warrior/♥️TH
My presence with the child does not necessitate the exclusion of you. I can be a devoted father and still remain here with my Queen.
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
*Shook his head..*
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
*Voice broke, catching in his throat as tears welled up, blurring the sight of the man he loved.*
Your Highness, please..
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
*Whispered, his voice hoarse with stifled sobs.*
Do not force me to be the villain. I cannot be the one to separate a mother from her child; that is the cruelest act.
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
You think your time with me suffices, but a child requires both parents beside him every day for a happy upbringing. Whatever affection I give, I will only ever be his Queen Mother, not his biological mother.
*Sobs..heart filled with pain.*
King Jeon Jungkook/Powerful warrior/♥️TH
*Swiftly cupped Taehyung's face, his thumbs gently brushing the wetness near his lashes.*
King Jeon Jungkook/Powerful warrior/♥️TH
Taetae, please don't cry, my love. Please, Taetae. Your anguish is breaking my heart.
*Whispered, his own voice heavy with distress.*
King Jeon Jungkook/Powerful warrior/♥️TH
*Pulled Taehyung into a desperate, tight embrace, his heart heavy with resignation.*
Alright, my love, alright.
*Conceded, his voice strained and defeated.*
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
*💔*
King Jeon Jungkook/Powerful warrior/♥️TH
We will adhere to the schedule Mother established. We will continue as we are. Just please, please don't cry. I will listen to you. I promise.
It was a promise of obedience made out of love, not duty—the final, heartbreaking moment of quiet defiance before the inevitable storm.
The sound of the slamming door and the Empress's icy voice instantly snapped Taehyung out of Jungkook's embrace.
King Jeon Jungkook/Powerful warrior/♥️TH
Mother.
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
*Ignored Taehyung completely, her gaze fixed on her son.*
Jungkook, what exactly are you doing in the FENGYI palace?
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
You know where your duty lies. Why are you wasting time here? After such joyous news, you should be at the Meihua Pavilion with Min Ari, the mother of your child.
*Serious voice.*
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
*A deep, agonizing hurt settled over him...instinctively cast his eyes downward, his long lashes concealing the moisture that had gathered there.*
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
*Kept his head bowed, hoping the darkness would mask the shattering emotion that tightened his jaw and made his breath shallow.*
King Jeon Jungkook/Powerful warrior/♥️TH
I have already congratulated her. I instructed her to rest and focus on her health. There is no need for me to stay at the Meihua Pavilion.
*Serious voice.*
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
*Gaze turned scathing, dripping with disdain for his inadequacy.*
You are her husband, Jungkook, not a mere courtier or a third party offering well wishes!
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
Your duty is not simply to offer congratulations and then retreat. If you cannot bring yourself to care for your wife, then at the very least, you must care for your child! That is your true obligation.
*Angry voice.*
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
And I insist you spend more time with her.
*Stated, shutting down all debate.*
As a pregnant woman must not be subjected to stress.
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
This situation demands immediate, decisive action. I have restructured the schedule: You shall dedicate five days a week to Min Ari, without fail, until the Heir is born.
King Jeon Jungkook/Powerful warrior/♥️TH
*Eyes flashed dangerously at the finality of the his mother's command.*
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
The remaining two days are for Taehyung. As you share such a deep, long-standing bond, you do not require frequent attention to maintain your relationship.
King Jeon Jungkook/Powerful warrior/♥️TH
*Clenched his fist into a solid knot, the impulse to rage and defy his mother swelling violently in his chest.*
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
*Raised a hand, silencing him before he could speak.*
No more discussions on this, Jeon Jungkook.
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
I am doing this for the well-being of the whole Empire, and my decision is absolute.
*Commanding, her voice cold and commanding.*
King Jeon Jungkook/Powerful warrior/♥️TH
*Consumed by anger and a crippling sense of frustration, Jungkook offered neither a parting glance nor a word. He simply turned and exited the FENGYI palace.*
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
*Sharp and unyielding gaze, settled upon Taehyung.*
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
*Despite the crushing pain, maintained his posture, but his eyes were eloquent with anguish.*
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
*Eyes shimmered brilliantly before the tears finally overcame him, running down his pale cheeks—a heartbreaking contrast to the Queen's usual dignified composure.*
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
*Watched Taehyung's tears fall before speaking, her tone conveying cold, detached sympathy.*
Taehyung, I know this arrangement causes you pain. I understand you are hurt by the necessity of this decree.
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
But I offered you a choice. I gave you the opportunity to convince him to leave willingly.
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
Since you were unable to influence him or persuade him to prioritize his duty, I was left with no option but to take this strict route. Do not blame me for the schedule; blame your inability to change his mind.
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
Now, dry your tears. You heard the decree. Ensure he does not return to this wing for the five days allotted to the Consort Min Ari.
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
It's your responsibility to ensure that Min Ari has no stress and affect the health of royal offspring.
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
Is that understood?
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
Yes, Mother. I understand. I will ensure the King adheres to the schedule.
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
Good.
*Left from there.*
Queen Jeon Taehyung/JK Wife[Gem-❤️JK]
*Turned away from the doorway. He went directly to his inner chamber, closing the heavy doors behind him.*
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
*Sighed inwardly, her gaze distant.*
(I never imagined the day would come when the situation would be so profoundly reversed.)
Empress Yi Sun/Kook's Mother[Selfish🖤]
(Had I possessed the foresight of this near future, I would never have treated Queen Taehyung with such unforgivable cold word and cruel action.)
